Refractive index profile renormalization for a silicon waveguide bend

An index profile renormalization method is proposed to study the effective refraction index increase in a high-index contrast waveguide bend such as a silicon waveguide bend. This method transforms a waveguide bend to an equivalent straight waveguide (ESW). The simulation results show that the ESW m...
